When it comes to living healthier, part of the difficulty lies not in simply taking action, but rather in waiting for the result you’re hoping for. Being patient. When it comes to healthier living, a short-term mindset doesn’t work. Your body doesn’t change overnight. But your mindset, your approach, and your expectations can change overnight. When you take the long view, the expectation is no longer that you’ll see the result right away. You have a forward-thinking mindset and you understand that consistency will get you there, but that patience is required. Take the long view, have a patient mindset. You’ll not only feel less stressed, but you’ll set the expectation of long term growth from within.
